Hello all this post comes from a hospital bed. Earlier today I was dissembling my pistol I had cleared the gun but put the mag back in cause I was contouring the grip. Needless to say the gun went off...probably my finger in the trigger. I don't remember all those details.
Any who the gun fired. Next thing my fiancée is screaming. I got up to check on her and she had a gsw to the leg. Below the knee through and through. I controlled the bleeding with a few towels. Then she told me I was hit. I had a huge wound in my thigh pouring blood. I tried calling 911 but my phone wouldn't work due to being covered in blood. She called 911 and I went to get a tq and applied it stopping the bleeding. Then I realized my palm was destroyed too.
My co workers arrived and transported us to the trauma center. Luckily she's fine with a few small stitches. The bullet fragmented and she was struck with a 22 sized fragment.
As for me I lost about 500ml of blood. Through and through so I now have lots of stitches. No surgery needed though. Off work for a few weeks.
Moral of the story follow the rules of gun safety. know medical skills and stay calm. I have pics if y'all want to see them. Took them for training.
Stay safe all and thank god someone was watching us.
